I know what is bugging you now.

I've started several small businesses over the years and never abused one employee. I always paid more ($8-10) than minimum wage and never asked a worker to do what I would not myself, as in dangerous work. I also pay cash every day and that is very motivating for most. Does this make all workers happy? No, I still had complainers even at $10/hr for unskilled workers.

The best way to deal with capitalism is to humanize it and run the show your way. Want to try with you in the drivers seat?

Helping people in poor countries is a learning process.
1. Some are brain damaged from lack of protein as children. Fetal alcohol syndrome too.
2. Lack of education means that even if you ask them how they want to be helped they often have no idea or think in the very short term or only of their own family.
3. Stick-to-it mentality. Some don't have this. What are the solutions?
4.People have starved to death in famine area, even in UN camps, because they were give strange food in aid and would not eat it.
5.In Bengaldesh locals will not pick up their drowned neighbours because they are unclean.

These are just a few things I jotted down. Anyway, helping others is no simple matter but helping nature is, by protecting land.
